Programmes

Our programmes have the potential to significantly benefit New Zealand through a youth population who are better educated, have enhanced employment prospects, greater self-esteem and are healthy and motivated.

About FYD

We aim to inspire all school age New Zealand children to reach their full potential through programmes that help build self-esteem, promote good values and which teach valuable life, education and health skills.

FYD: Looking forward to a bright, shiny tomorrow

If our kids are educated, confident, have bucket-loads of self-esteem and are healthy and motivated then that's got to be great news for the future of our country, right? So let's make it happen - see what's on offer at FYD.

Stars: Making the leap!

Stars is our innovative, interactive Year 9 programme that offers motivation and positive support through Year 12 and 13 mentoring to students when they're making that (sometimes tricky!) transition from primary to secondary school.

Project K: Shaping the future

Project K kicks in at a time when some kids need it most. Designed for Year 10's, this programme builds confidence, teaches life skills, promotes good health and encourages a positive attitude. What's not to love.

Career Navigator: The sky's the limit

"What are you going to do when you grow up?" Not a lot of teens know the answer to that old chestnut! But Career Navigator can help. With valuable info, options and guidance around work and life choices, along with support in terms of achieving goals, and aiming high.

MYND: Back on track

Teenage years can be a tough time for many. But if problem situations are caught early and given a chance - given the right support - lives can be tuned around. That's what Mentoring Youth New Direction (MYND) is all about.
